There's no doubt that WWE is still the undisputed king of professional wrestling. The reality is the other promotions such as New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor have proved capable of hiring some of the world's finest talents. Keeping them through profit-sharing including lucrative merchandise deals now that business mogul shark on the sixty-fifth the richest individual in the world is funding all elite wrestling. More opportunities have opened up for wrestlers other than the WWE.
1 Cody Rhodes who would have thought that the artist formerly known as Stardust would find international success by leaving the WWE back in 2016. While Cody was doing little in the WWE it seemed unlikely he'd achieved so much success in both New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor let alone Co-promoting 2018 s highly successful indie show all-in alongside the young bucks.
As often happens Cody's resurgence outside the WWE led to the promotion offering to bring him back as reported in December 2018. While the WWE can throw a pile of money at Cody he seems happier charting his own course as one of the executive vice-president of a promising new promotion while making a similar amount of money to what the WWE offered
2. The Young Bucks when the young bucks announced they were about to become free agents it only made sense their next destination would be the WWE. However, as anyone who's followed their careers can tell the Jackson brothers are anything but Orthodox whether it's the unconventional wrestling style or intrepid use of social media the young bucks built themselves as one of wrestling's hottest acts outside the WWE. Thus its little surprise that the WWE offered them a lucrative offer room it to be close to the same salary as AJ Styles.
One of the WWE's top superstars furthermore the WWE wanted to let the tag team continue their popular program being the elite only through the WWE Network rather than YouTube they were so high on signing the bucks that their proposed three-year contract included a clause with a six-month window for exiting the WWE.
3. Tatsuya Naito New Japan Pro wrestling's talented star Tatsuya Naito was recruited by the WWE with the folks at tightened tower expressing interest in him bringing him to the United States. Some insiders believe he refused the offer due to his loyalty with New Japan loyalty which may have resulted in his winning the promotion's Intercontinental IWGP Championship after defeating Chris Jericho at Wrestle Kingdom 13 while it's possible he wanted to stay with the company that made him into a bona fide star the WWE's terrible record with New Japan Pro Wrestling stars may have played a role in his decision as well however he himself commented on the situation in 2018 saying I didn't even give it thought this new Japan ring is already the world's number one stage the fans know this that's why I think we should focus on our home crowd before looking international
4. Adam Paige If you've caught the YouTube series being the elite you probably have a good idea why Indy sensation Adam page passed on signing with the WWE.
The hangman quote the WWE's notice as his star rose in New Japan and was offered an NXT contract like several other members of the faction known as the elite page passed on the offer instead of signing with all early wrestling
5. Kenny Omega Another member of dearly Kenny omegas name has come up wherever fans discuss in the wrestlers coming to the WWE with Omega about to become a free agent word has it that WWE was interested in bringing him into the promotion however Omega has reportedly turned down the WWE's offer with speculation that limited if any creative control including restrictions on the moves he can use and the damage New Japan Pro Wrestling would suffer from his departure being the reasons he didn't sign while Omega has it 100% confirmed he has signed with all elite wrestling it seems likely especially since they seem to be willing to let stars continue working for New Japan Pro Wrestling and
6. Chris Jericho many wrestling fans were surprised when Chris Jericho appeared at 2018 the Wrestling Kingdom after years of discussing how he'd never worked anywhere but the WWE Jericho who's often taken sabbaticals to focus on other projects such as his rock group Fozzie and gigs in Hollywood always seemed to return to the WWE.
However 2018 not only saw him appear at the WrestleKingdom 12 but surprised the fans are all in Jericho also hosted the Chris Jericho rock and wrestling Ranger at sea cruise in 2018 proving his popularity and business acumen remain high nonetheless fans were downright shocked when all Elite Wrestling announced it had signed Jericho according to Jericho himself he was in talks with the WWE to return to the promotion just days before the all elite Wrestling rally but nothing concrete materialized in a youtube interview with Chris Van flight Jericho boasted his all elite wrestling contract is the most money he's ever made in wrestling something which suggests all elite wrestling back has mean business well guys there you have it six wrestlers who have recently rejected huge offers from WWE did any of these surprises you let us know in the comments down below subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you next time with some more wrestling content
